Abstract :
Material-resolved X-ray imaging or colour X-ray imaging is of a great interest for many applications ranging from physics, industry to medicine and biology. X-ray fluorescence offers a method for producing such images if the energies and positions of origin of the fluorescent photons can be adequately resolved.
